Behavioral and emotional problems in children with sickle cell disease and healthy siblings: Multiple informants, multiple measures.

13 Dec 2009 BACKGROUND: Behavioral and emotional problems in children with sickle cell disease (SCD) may be related to disease factors, or to socio-demographic factors. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of behavioral and emotional problems ... Read more...

Erythrocytapheresis in children with sickle cell disease and acute chest syndrome.

29 Nov 2009 BACKGROUND: Red cell exchange (RCE) is part of the management of acute chest syndrome (ACS) in patients with sickle cell disease. The study describes the indications and outcome of the procedure. PROCEDURE: We retrospectively reviewed 53 episodes of ... Read more...

Real time monitoring of sickle cell hemoglobin fiber formation by UV resonance Raman spectroscopy.

18 Oct 2009 In sickle cell hemoglobin, individual tetramers associate into long fibers as a consequence of the mutation at the beta6 position. In this study UV resonance Raman spectroscopy is used to monitor the formation of Hb S fibers in real time through ... Read more...
